Where are installed Google Chrome extensions stored locally?

I have installed Google Chrome's extension Chrome Office Viewer (Beta) for open Excel, Word and Power Point documents in browser. And now I need to install this extension to others computers in local network. The problem is that the computers is not connected to the Internet.

How can I extricate (get) installed Google Chrome's extension for installing to others computers (offline)?

in window you should first enable hidden file and then go to this directory : Windows 10/8/7/Vista: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\UserData\Default\Extensions\<Extension ID>

in above directory you will see extentions by id

Chrome extensions are stored in your filesystem, under the Extensions folder, inside Chrome's user data directory.

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\<Extension ID>

Windows 10/8/7/Vista: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\<Extension ID>

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/<Extension ID>

Linux: ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/<Extension ID>

Chrome OS: /home/chronos/Extensions/<Extension ID>

You can copy the extension folder and drop it on a USB or in a network drive.

To install

  • Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions.
  • Make sure Developer Mode is checked.
  • Click Load Unpacked Extension....
  • Find your copied directory and click Open.

The extension should install locally.

To download the crx without store access, use this url. https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx?response=redirect&x=id%3D~~~~%26uc

//replace the ~~~~ characters with the id of extension :

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ultimate-user-agent-switc/ljfpjnehmoiabkefmnjegmpdddgcdnpo?hl=fr

To install an extension from a crx file, open Extension page and drag and drop the crx inside.
